Our identity server model has some shortcomings:
|
|
* The trusted clique could be seen to act as an oligarchic point of control
|
|
* The clique replicates all state over itself; unlike DNS root servers which partition the dataset
|
|
* We don't have a way to map tokens to arbitrary 3rd party credentials unless one of our trusted clique validates said 3rd party credentials. So otherwise you're stuck using @myapp-$uid:myapp.com style IDs, which is rather foul.

Could something like bitauth help us on this?
